    Hemoglobin- (16.9) 12.6-17.7 - 2months ago= 17.1
    Hematocrit- (50.5) 37.5-51.0 - 2 months ago= 47.9

    When would you guys recommend my next blood work???
    keep an eye on ferritin and serum iron, if you maintain that frequency of blood donations I can't imagine your body will be getting enough iron over time.

    ferritin is the storage form of iron. iron is critical to your body, both mentally and physically.

    Well it doesnt look like I have those labs. I did a CBC w/Diff, CMP, Lipid, FSH, LH, Test, E-sensitive, SHBG. What do I need to ask for next time? When should I get tested again?? 8-12 weeks?? Longer ??
